Which CO classifications count as electricians

• EC — Electrical Contractor — the business licence
• ME — Master Electrician
• JW — Journeyman Electrician
• RW — Residential Wireman

A record's classifications array carries these codes, so you can tell a licence that covers the work from one that merely exists.

Run it

curl "https://contractor-license-verification2.p.rapidapi.com/v1/licenses/CO/EC.32" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Host: contractor-license-verification2.p.rapidapi.com"

EC.32 is a real CO licence (Intermountain Electric, Inc.) in this trade, so that call works as written.

Before you rely on it

Colorado licenses the business and the individual separately, and both are here: EC is the company you hire, ME and JW are the people who do the work. Ask for the EC number when you are paying a company — an active master electrician working for a firm with no EC licence is not a licensed contractor. Numbers repeat across those types, so a Colorado licence is addressed with its prefix, as EC.32 rather than 32.

What Department of Regulatory Agencies does not publish

• General contractors — Colorado does not license them at state level
• Street address
• Surety bond
• Workers' compensation
• General liability insurance
• The qualifying individual behind a licensed company

Full coverage detail, including the caveats that apply to every Colorado lookup, is on the Colorado page.
